Pardon the Interuption...

Oct 30, 2009

Don't fret! We're still alive and well. We're taking a long weekend from our regular posts so that we can put the finishing touches on the next generation of PopularMechanics.com. That's right: Next week you'll experience our new interface and a cleaner, clearer and easier-to-use PopularMechanics.com. Don't worry, you'll still be reading the same Popular Mechanics content, but you'll have a much easier time navigating through our huge collection of print, video and audio—over ten years of science news, auto and home how-to and tech scoops at your fingertips. We spent the better part of last year designing our new experience, and we're excited to share it with you on Monday morning, September 25. Until then, feel free to browse all of our blog content, which will remain available (and, obviously, will still be available after Monday morning), listen to The Popular Mechanics Show and read the great magazine stories we bring to you every day, completely free of charge. Or give your mouse-hand a break over the weekend, and try out one of the wildly fun diversions (think spud guns, trebauchets and balsa gliders) in this month's "Cheap Thrills" story. See you on Monday!
